Well I had this little notion - I started writing when I was eleven writing poetry. I was passionately addicted to it it was my great refuge through adolescence.

A great many people seem to think writing poetry is worthwhile even though it pays next to nothing and is not as widely read as it should be.

Poetry is something that happens in universities in creative writing programs or in English departments.

I've been writing a lot of poetry recently. It helps me think and work things out.

The nerds are my favourite sort of boys - any guy with a passion - whether it be physics or film or writing or poetry even I think it's super sweet and it's very attractive for a female.

I like the way words go together and I like the gamesmanship of writing poetry. It is such a challenge.

Gil Thorpe is a great diversion and is to book writing as poetry is to prose.

I don't think you get to good writing unless you expose yourself and your feelings. Deep songs don't come from the surface they come from the deep down. The poetry and the songs that you are suppose to write I believe are in your heart.

I never think about poetry except when I'm writing it. I mean my poetry.

I'm not a writer. I think I can write short stories and poetry but film writing brilliant film writing is a talent - you can't just do it like that.
